substrate 1, thesecond electrode 22 may be formed to be relatively thick, thereby increasing the luminescent efficiency towards thesubstrate 1. - When the organic light-emitting display apparatus is of a top emission type display apparatus where an image is related towards the
second layer 4, thesecond electrode 22 may function as a semi-transmissive reflective layer by forming thesecond electrode 22 to be thin. Alternatively, thesecond electrode 22 may be formed of a transparent conductive material other than the above-described materials. In this case, thefirst electrode 21 may further include a reflective layer. - In one embodiment, the organic light-emitting
layer 23 has a stack structure in which a plurality of organic layers including an emission layer (EML) are staked. A hole transport layer (HTL), a hole injection layer (HIL), or the like may be disposed between the EML and thefirst electrode 21, and an electron transport layer (ETL), an electron injection layer (EIL), or the like may be disposed between the EML and thesecond electrode 22. - In
FIG. 2 , thesecond layer 4 may have a stack structure in which anorganic layer 42 is interposed between a firstinorganic layer 41 and a secondinorganic layer 43. However, the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and thesecond layer 4 may have a stack structure in which a plurality of inorganic layers and a plurality of organic layers are alternately stacked. At least one of the inorganic layers of thesecond layer 4 is formed of aluminum oxide, alumino silicate, silicon oxide, silicon oxinitride, silicon nitride, or combinations thereof. At least one of the organic layers of thesecond layer 4 is formed of acrylate, thiol, epoxy, polyester, siloxane, urethane, or combinations thereof. - A
first layer 3 is interposed between thesecond layer 4 and the organic light-emittingdevice 2. - The
first layer 3 contacts each of the organic light-emittingdevice 2 and thesecond layer 4, and prevents a stress from increasing due to an organic layer included in thesecond layer 4. Thefirst layer 3 may contact thesecond electrode 22 of the organic light-emittingdevice 2. In addition, thefirst layer 3 may contact the firstinorganic layer 41 of thesecond layer 4. In this case, thefirst layer 3 may further prevent the stress from increasing. To this end, thefirst layer 3 may include a porous layer. - Since the
first layer 3 includes a porous layer, a function of reducing the stress by thefirst layer 3, instead of a function of preventing the penetration of moisture and air by thesecond layer 5, may be further improved. - Since the porous layer is formed of an inorganic material, the
first layer 3 may prevent the stress from increasing due to thesecond layer 4, in particular, due to at least one of the first and secondinorganic layers - The porous layer of the
first layer 3 may be formed at least partially of a material such as SiNx, SiOx, SiCN, SiON, LiF or combinations thereof. The porous layer of thefirst layer 3 may be formed using a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method or a thermal evaporation method. During the PECVD method, the porous layer may be formed with a reduced plasma ion density. The porous layer of thefirst layer 3 may have a crystalline structure, thus the porous layer may have a higher density than an inorganic layer of thesecond layer 4. - A thickness of the
first layer 3 may be smaller than that of thesecond layer 4. If the thickness thefirst layer 3 is greater than that of thesecond layer 4, since tranmissivity for visible rays is reduced in a top emission type display apparatus, thefirst layer 3 may be formed to have a minimum thickness as long as the stress due to thesecond layer 4 is prevented. The thickness of thefirst layer 3 may be smaller than that of the firstinorganic layer 41 of thesecond layer 4. - A thickness of the
first layer 3 may be thicker than that of the firstinorganic layer 41 of thesecond layer 4. If thesecond layer 4 may have a stack structure in which a plurality of inorganic layers and a plurality of organic layers are alternately stacked, since the stress due to thesecond layer 4 is strong, thefirst layer 3 may be thicker than that of the firstinorganic layer 41 of thesecond layer 4. The porous layer of thefirst layer 3 may further comprise an organic material. - In
FIG. 2 , thefirst layer 3 includes a single porous layer, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and the porous layer may be variously formed. - For example,
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of afirst layer 3′ according to another embodiment. Referring toFIG. 3 , thefirst layer 3′ includes a plurality of porous layers. The porous layers may have at least two porous layers with different densities. InFIG. 3 , thefirst layer 3′ has a stack structure including a firstporous layer 31, a secondporous layer 32, and a thirdporous layer 33. - In one embodiment, the porous layers 31-33 have different layer densities. In one embodiment, the first
porous layer 31 has the lowest density. In this embodiment, the thirdporous layer 33 has the highest density. That is, the porous layers may have a density gradient formed in such a way that density increases from the firstporous layer 31 to the thirdporous layer 33. The density gradient may be substantially gradually increased. - The
first layer 3′ including a plurality of porous layers may have a greater thickness than the thickness of thefirst layer 3 as shown inFIG. 2 including a single porous layer. -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of afirst layer 3″ according to another embodiment. - The
first layer 3″ is formed at least partially of SiCN by using a PECVD method. A fourthporous layer 36 formed of, for example, carbon or a carbon-containing material is formed between a thirdinorganic layer 34 and a fourthinorganic layer 35 formed of SiN. - The fourth
porous layer 36 formed of carbon may not have barrier characteristics, and may prevent a stress from increasing due to thefirst layer 3″ including an inorganic layer and thesecond layer 4 formed on thefirst layer 3″. -
FIG. 5 is a transmission electron microscope (TEM) image of a high-density SiNx layer formed on an organic light-emitting device.FIG. 6 shows a pixel formed by alternately forming organic layers and inorganic layers on the high-density SiNx layer to form a thin-film sealing structure and then maintaining the thin-film sealing structure at high temperatures and high moistures for about 100 hours. InFIG. 6 , a left side shows a light-emitting state, and a right side shows a non-emitting state. - The high density SiNx layer has excellent barrier characteristics due to a high density. However, since the high density SiNx layer influences an organic light-emitting device formed below the high density SinX layer due to a strong stress, dark spots are shown, as illustrated in
FIG. 6 . -
FIG. 7 is a TEM image of a porous SiNx layer having almost no barrier characteristics.FIG. 8 is a TEM image of a pixel formed by interposing the porous SiNx layer between the thin-film sealing structure and the organic light-emitting device and then maintaining the resulting structure at high temperatures and high moistures for about 240 hours. InFIG. 8 , a left side shows a light-emitting state and a right side shows a non-emitting state. - Likewise, by further interposing the porous SiNx layer with almost no barrier characteristics, the number of black spots may be reduced, as shown in
FIG. 6 . -
FIG. 9 is a TEM image of a pixel formed by forming a layer as shown inFIG. 3 by dividing a porous SiNx layer into three layers to increase a plasma ion density to a third level and then maintaining the resulting structure at high temperatures and high moistures for about 500 hours. - As shown in
FIG. 9 , even though a severe environment is maintained for a long period of time, the number of black spots is reduced. - A structure with no black spots, that is, the porous SiNx layer, has almost no barrier characteristics. The porous SiNx layer prevents a stress. The porous layer has a higher Si—H bonding ratio and a lower Si—N bonding ratio than that of a SiNx layer having a barrier characteristics. Thus, the porous SiNx layer may be formed to have a high Si—H bonding ratio in order to prevent the stress from increasing.
- The porous SiNx layer is not used only in the above-described sealing structure. As shown in
FIG. 10 , in a structure in which a sealingsubstrate 4′ is adhered to thesubstrate 1 by a sealingmember 44, thefirst layer 3 may be used as a passivation layer for covering the organic light-emittingdevice 2. Alternatively, as shown inFIG. 1 , thesecond layer 4 may be further formed also on the passivation layer. In addition, the structures show inFIGS. 2 through 4 may be used as thefirst layer 3. - A first layer as a porous layer does not have to contact a second electrode. In addition, when the first layer is interposed between the second electrode and an inorganic layer as a high-density barrier layer, the first layer may effectively prevent a stress, thereby preventing minute black spots of a pixel from forming.
- That is, as shown in
FIG. 11 , acapping layer 5 that is for realizing resonance of the organic light-emittingdevice 2 may be formed on thesecond electrode 22, thefirst layer 3 may be formed on thecapping layer 5, and thesecond layer 4 may be further formed on thefirst layer 3. Thecapping layer 5 may be formed at least partially of an inorganic material, an organic material, or combinations thereof. - A compound shown by the following formula (1) is an exemplary embodiment for the material for the capping layer.

That is, a firstorganic layer 42′ of thesecond layer 4′ as a sealing layer is formed on thesecond electrode 22, and then thefirst layer 3 is formed on the firstorganic layer 42′. A sealing layer formed by sequentially forming a firstinorganic layer 41′, a secondorganic layer 45, and a secondinorganic layer 43′ is formed on thefirst layer 3. In this structure, since the firstinorganic layer 41′ and the secondinorganic layer 43′ constitute a high-density barrier, a stress may be increased. However, the stress may be reduced by interposing thefirst layer 3 between the firstinorganic layer 41′ and the firstorganic layer 42′, thereby preventing minute black spots from being formed. -
FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of a single pixel formed by applying the pixels ofFIGS. 11 and 12 , according to another embodiment.

Also, since the first and secondinorganic layers 41′ and 43′ constitute a high-density barrier, a stress may be increased. However, the stress may be reduced by interposing thefirst layer 3 between the firstinorganic layer 41′ and the firstorganic layer 42′, thereby preventing minute black spots from being formed. - Also, in
FIGS. 11 through 13 , the stack order and the number of layers included in thesecond layer FIG. 10 . -

Furthermore, theinorganic layer 41 contacts theporous layer 3 and has a plurality of pin holes 411. The pin holes 411 extend from a boundary between theinorganic layer 41 and theporous layer 3. Thus theinorganic layer 41 may prevent the stress from increasing due to thesecond layer 4. - The porous layer according to another embodiment may be formed of silicon oxide having a similar refractive index with that of the LiF porous layer. That is, the silicon oxide porous layer has a refractive index less than 1.4.
